More than 35 ASLA chapters will feature multiple events throughout
the month of April to highlight the importance of landscape
architecture and the availability of careers in the field.
Chapter events range from working with students to design
outdoor spaces to collaborative charrettes, meetings, lectures,
and film viewings.

Chapters have scheduled events with local high schools, Boy
Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Ace Mentor program participants to
teach them one-on-one about landscape architecture and provide
them with information about opportunities in the profession.
ASLA members are also working directly with guidance counselors
and teachers to reach students.

In recognition of this goal of creating awareness of the
profession, a number of national partners have signed on in
support of the month. The Cultural
Landscape Foundation and ACE
Mentor program, both targeting middle school and high
school students, have joined as partners.
